Remember Royal Mail prices go up - 6th April

[PurpleFrog]

I have just searched to find out when the postal prices increase - I knew it was April but wasn't sure if it was the 1st or the start of the new financial year. Anyway, it is Tuesday 6th April - more info here.

thanks - postage will be too expensive soon, wont it?!?!

Courier companies are only cheaper for large items. Most of the things I sell cost less than £5 to send and courier companies are not competitive for that.

Oh no, I had no idea. I have 45 auctions listed on ebay at the moment, all due to end over the Easter weekend and all quoting old prices. Is there anything I can do to change my p&p charges?

Oh never mind. I just checked the new prices more thoroughly and realised that second class packet postage is only going up 10p ish per weight category. I guess I can afford 10p per parcel as I always add on a bit anyway. Even so, you would think ebay could have sent us a message pointing out the rise in prices.
